Good topic Vidar !
On my screen the picture you posted looks like vanilla, I don't see any pink or other color in the picture just as said before best said as vanilla.
I work on a notebook screen (Asus g2sv) and I wasn't happy in the past with printing pictures in the lab. They didn't seem to have the look on the laptop screen, mostly to dark and no color. So I bought myself a Spyder 3 Pro to calibrate my laptop screen and it came out very strange looking. I knew the hardware and the software did calibrate it but somehow it looks strange, more dark and less colors. So that must be the same results as the printed pictures from the lab.
I re-edited the pictures and let them print again from the lab and it just became out perfect. They just look the same as on my screen. From that day everything on the internet and pictures look different as before the calibration and that is in the first strange but after a while you will see everything look more natural. Notebook screens pimp up colors and backlight, something you don't want.
So I can say some hardware as the Spyder 3 pro is well worth the money......
Hope this is useful for you.

Oscar, hi!
Adding a calibration tool to the photobag is definitely a smart idea. At least if the photos get printed from time to time. It is nice to know even a laptop will benefit from it. 
Just by looking at the Woophy colors makes you think. On the stand alone monitor the green is very vivid, while on the laptop it is rather dark and not vivid at all. Maybe it should be good enough reason to run to the nearest electronic store and buy a screen at once!
